Research Abstract |
1)RT-PCR Gastric carcinoma cell lines (MKN1,MKN45,ECC10,GT3TkB) were examined for gene expression of E2-EPF using RT-PCR. mRNA expression of E2-EPF was observed in all of them. 2)Immunoblotting Gastric carcinoma cell lines (MKN7,MKN45,IM95) and esophageal carcinoma cell line (KYSE 50) were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, followed by immunoblotting using an anti-E2-EPF polyclonal antibody of ab4504,and AP2120a. A single band of 24kDa was present in KYSE 50 and IM95 by using ab4504. But a single band of 48kDa was present in MKN7 and MKN45 by using ab4505. Various bands of muriti-ubiquitin chain conjugated with E2-EPF were ditected in each sample by using AP2120a. These result suggested that a double quantity body of E2-EPF might be present in gastric cancer. 3)Immunohistochemistry Using paraffin-embedded specimens from patients with gastric cancer, E2-EPF protein was detected using an anti-E2-EPF polyclonal antibody of AP2120b using a dextran polymer conjugate two step visualization system. E2-EPF was enriched on the surface of nuclei in cancer cells. E2-EPF protein expression patterns within cancerous lesions were not associated with any of the following variables : TNM classification, stage, invasion into lymphatic or blood vessels, intramural metastasis, or histologic grades of differentiation.
